Ow! Ow! Ow!
Apr. 11th, 2005 07:48 pmWhat I haven't been talking about recently in unfiltered posts is that I have been exploring what is apparently a previously unrecognized, untrained shamanic talent.
(And I thought it was just "weird stuff" I've been doing/experiencing since adolescence. But having an Otherworldly figure show up in my mind at the onset of puberty, set me off on a mythic journey of Walking Between Worlds, and continuing to be my companion and counselor for several decades should have been a tip-off, right?)
More about that later.
The immediate news flash is actually this: when working on shamanic trance technique, using an .mp3 of drumming, disable the Yahoo IM first. What I just found out, is that the Incoming Mail alert sounds like a Star Wars blaster going off -- especially when the volume is turned up because the drumming is rather soft and I'm sitting halfway across the room.
Have you ever had a trance state interrupted by a blaster going off unexpectedly in your living room?
It's not an experience I recommend.
I have a headache.
